The City of Carmel Street Department is wrapping up its storm debris pickup initiative on April 30, an effort that commenced in the wake of the April 2 tornado. Residents residing in the affected areas should take note that this Wednesday is the deadline to avail themselves of the free curbside service for the removal of fallen limbs and assorted storm remnants.
First announced on April 3 following the local emergency declaration by Mayor Sue Finkam, the service was intended to alleviate some of the burdens facing the community. As described in a news release by the City of Carmel, residents are instructed to place any tree debris alongside the road, ensuring it is properly positioned by the curb for efficient pickup. The City also urges residents whose homes have sustained structural damage to notify the Street Department, which will prompt an inspection by City Building Inspectors.
Any residents needing special assistance due to age or medical conditions are encouraged to reach out to the Street Department for support. This service is designed to ensure that all community members have an opportunity to clear their properties without undue hardship.
Contact information remains readily available for those with inquiries or in need of service details. The Street Department can be reached via email at [email protected] or by calling 317-733-2001. Additionally, a storm map, indicating the eligible regions for debris pickup, can be viewed on the City's bulletin. Residents should make sure to adhere to the instructions and use the provided resources to facilitate a smooth operation.
